5.2
General safety regulations
Maintenance operations must be carried out by trained technicians specialised in the following sectors:
•
Mechanical maintenance
It is the Safety Manager's duty to ensure the professionalism and skills of these technicians.
-
Keep unauthorised personnel out of the work area.
-
Ensure that the necessary tools are in good conditions and readily available to the maintenance
technician.
-
Ensure that there is enough light and, if necessary, provide 24 Volt torches.
-
Ensure that the maintenance technician is equipped with the approved personal protective equipment
required for the specific operation (gloves, goggles, shoes, etc.).
-
Ensure that the maintenance technician has carefully read the instructions contained in this manual and
has a perfect knowledge of vacuum operation.
Before starting any maintenance operation, the maintenance technician must:
-
Disconnect all pneumatic power supplies and place the vacuum in safety lock conditions.
Attention!
After every maintenance operation, the Safety Manager is obliged to ensure the safety
conditions of the machine and its protection devices.
Maximum reliability of the vacuum and minimum maintenance costs are the result of a planned
maintenance and inspection schedule, followed closely throughout the entire lifespan of the vacuum.
Observe the set maintenance intervals and schedule the interventions according to specific requirements in
relation with the vacuum production cycle.
Always use tools that are in perfect state and that are specifically intended for the operation to be carried
out; the use of inadequate or inefficient tools can cause serious damage.
